Existence of recombination-selection equilibria for sexual populations

arXiv:1703.09078

Abstract

We study a birth and death model for the adapatation of a sexual population to an environment. The population is structured by a phenotypical trait, and, possibly, an age variable. Recombination is modeled by Fisher's infinitesimal operator. We prove the existence of principal eigenelements for the corresponding eigenproblem. As the infinitesimal operator is 1-homogeneous but nor linear nor monotone, the general Krein-Rutman theory cannot be applied to this problem.
